Usain Bolt still misremembered the time, the game actually started at half past eight, so when they arrived at the hotel, the game was still in the preparation stage, but the whistle for the start of the game was blown immediately.

The match was played against Chelsea and Manchester City, who wore their traditional blue shirt due to the pre-match draw of the home team, while Manchester City wore a dark red shirt, and the funny thing is that in the more than 100-year history of the Community Shield, the two teams have never met in this competition.

City won the Charity Shield for the third and final time in 1972 when they beat Villa 1-0 at Villa Park. Since then, however, City have failed to win the Charity Shield for four decades, competing in 1973 and 2011, losing to Burnley and Manchester United.

In the six years between 2005 and 2010, Chelsea, who rose to prominence as one of the Premier League's four giants, reached the Community Shield five times, but only won twice, 2-1 in 2005 and Manchester United in 2009, and the other three times in 2006 and 2007 and 2010.

But this is not a bad thing, because the team that won this cup in the long history did not end up with very good results, which is also the origin of the famous Charity Shield curse, and even if this cup was later renamed the Community Shield, it is still a bit ugly, only a few teams such as Manchester United can avoid being cursed, and now last year's champion Manchester City and last year's FA Cup champion Chelsea are also eyeing this year's league title, so they don't care much about this competition.

Mancini still follows last year's traditional formation 4-4-2, goalkeeper Pantilimon, defenders Savic, Kompany, Klich and Zabaleta, midfielders Yaya Toure, De Jong, Milner and Nasri, and the forward line is Argentine twin stars Tevez and Aguero, this lineup can basically see Mancini's conservativeness, but in the eyes of many people, this lineup configuration is to be able to control Ai Fan, although it has been rumored that Ai Fan will not participate, but Mancini still made two preparations.

And Mourinho also put out a more satisfactory game lineup after training in the United States, the goalkeeper is still Cech, which is also his former favorite general, and now he is still willing to use the old man when he returns to Chelsea. Ivanovich, Luiz, John Terry and Ashley Cole at the back, Frank Lampard, Mikel Mikel and Ramires in midfield, Juan Mata and Eden Hazard on the left and right wings, while Torres remains in the front line.

The performance of the Spanish golden boy last season was too average, and there were a lot of rumors about him from the outside world, and some people even thought that he would be squeezed out of the position by Ai Huan, but Mourinho said in public that Torres had always been in his plan, and his performance in the warm-up game before that was also very good, which also made some rumors from the outside world become fake news, and Torres did not make any more transfers, which also made many people not know what Mourinho's calculations were, whether they still want Ai Huan to appear on the pitch as a midfielder？

Both sides looked conservative from the start of the game, but the battle in midfield was fierce, and in the opening two minutes City won a free-kick on the left side of the field, Tevez spun straight into the near corner, but Cech saved the ball from the side. But football did not fail to go out of the bottom line, and the Manchester City players knocked back to the middle of the bottom line, but it was destroyed again.

John Terry picked up the ball at the back and passed it to Mikel and Frank Lampard was brought down by De Jong, and the Dutchman's defence was still as fierce as it was to pass. After Juan Mata took the ball on the right side of the field and moved to the left, Hazard took the ball and turned to break through, but as soon as he accelerated, De Jong tripped again, but the referee did not say that the ball was in the hands of Pantilimon.

In the sixth minute, Yaya Toure crossed to Kolalov from the left side of the field, and Luis broke the ball off the line. Nasri's corner kick went to the back of the penalty area, was pushed out by Ivanovic, and the ball went out of the other side of the bottom line, it was still a corner. The corner goes to the front post and Frank Lampard breaks it out.

Midfielder Chelsea controlled the ball, handed it to Ramires on the right, handed it to Lampard and passed it to Juan Mata in front, Mata passed it back, Chelsea continued to fall in midfield, Mikel took the ball and was broken!

Both sides set up heavy troops in the midfield, and the defensive midfielders are the best of the day, so the players who want to show their skills in the midfield are all ruthlessly crushed, and there are not many opportunities for both teams in the first ten minutes, but it can still be seen that the intensity is unusual.

In the fifteenth minute, Tevez handed over to Nasri on the wing, and after handing over to the middle, Aguero gave Nasri, who was quickly inserted on the left side, with an outside instep shot that hit the defender and went out of the line. Nasri's corner was headed wide and Chelsea counter-attacked in midfield, with Hazard being incredibly fast but still discarded in half-time.

De Rong passed the ball to the right and handed it to Milner in the front court, and the bottom line crossed, but fortunately it was blocked by Ashley Cole. Kolalov's corner went straight to the goal, and it was Cech who smashed the ball out with one hand.

"It seems that Chelsea today was suppressed by them, why can't they get through the midfield?" Bolt, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help frowning: "This Hazard is very fast, and Mata's skills are good, but why can't he get past the midfield?"

Ai Huan shook his head lightly: "Manchester City today is tactically right, and Mata and Hazard have not experienced the Premier League, they are still playing in their own way, so now they will be a little out of control in the midfield." But Mata I know he just needs a little bit of time to find his groove very quickly. I don't know about Eden Hazard, but I think he's a very good player and he can adapt to it, but he needs a little bit of support. ”

"If you're on the field, can you support him?"

"Me?" Ai fantasized and shook his head, "I don't know what position I am in the new season, but if I play, the midfield should be able to have some support, but I don't dare to say whether I can deal with De Jong and their midfield, after all, I have never played against them." ”

"Haha, are you scared too?" Bolt laughed, but then patted Ai Huan's shoulder, "I've seen your game, it's so surprising, I don't think De Jong and they can stop you." This also caused Ai Huan to laugh.
